All About

Living in Huston Tillotson University, TX

Huston-Tillotson University, a historically black university in Austin, Texas, has a long history serving its students with a practical education. The school traces its roots to the Tillotson Collegiate and Normal Institute (founded in 1881), and Samuel Hurston College (founded in 1883), where legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson served as the athletic director. The two schools merged in 1952, bringing a new brand of student living to the African American students of Central Texas. Today, the university remains a popular option, with about 900 students in Huston-Tillotson University apartments and dormitories. Its location, on the outskirts of downtown Austin, lets students lead rich and rewarding lifestyles in the state's capital city.

Student living at Huston-Tillotson is organized around the College of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Business and Technology. Together, the two schools offer 16 majors, and award four-year degrees in areas such as business, education, the humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, and technology. In addition, the university offers alternative teacher certification and pre-professional programs in Law and Medicine.

Many Huston-Tillotson students elect to rent a university apartment as an entry into the exciting city of Austin, Texas. Off campus housing places students near the university, but grants them the independence to construct a lifestyle that benefits from the city's wealth of resources. The Plaza Santillo rail stop, two blocks from campus, make it even easier to manage the city.
